The Delhi Police, searching for the three Pakistani militants who had escaped on Friday, are trying to ascertain the identity of a woman who had visited one of the terrorists at the detention centre.

"A woman, who had visited the prison on a few occasions earlier, had turned up to meet Abdul Razzaq on Thursday," said an official at the Lampur facility, where the trio were in detention, awaiting deportation.

" In the entry register, she had written her name as Kamini. We have given the details of her visit to the Delhi Police," the official said.

Another official commented that while visitors were generally restricted to the gate, the woman was allowed inside the campus.

Razzaq, along with two other Pakistanis, Rafaqat Ali and Mohammed Sadiq, escaped after going to the Guru Nanak eye centre for a medical check up.

The trio were arrested in the Capital in 2000 on the charge of planning to plant a bomb near the Delhi airport. Around 17kg of RDX and 50kg of heroin were found on them. But having served time in prison, they were to be deported to Pakistan.

Meanwhile, in repercussion to the militants' escape, Meghalaya Police personnel, who were guarding the Lampur centre, were replaced by the CRPF. Dino Moni Singh, the sub inspector who had accompanied the militants, was yet again questioned by the Special Cell investigators at their Rohini Sector 6 office.

Dharminder - the driver of the vehicle that was hired to take the militants for the check up and five associates of the terrorists, were also questioned by the sleuths.

The Delhi Police on Monday gave a report to the Union home ministry on their escape.

Delhi Police commissioner Y. S. Dadwal stated that a report had been submitted but refused to share its contents. He also did not comment whether the Foreigners Regional Registration Office ( FRRO) or the Delhi Police's Special Branch was responsible for the trio's deportation.

While initially there were reports that the FRRO was responsible, it clarified that only the Special Branch looked into the deportation of Pakistani prisoners.

Sources revealed that in the report sent to the home ministry, it has been mentioned that Moni Singh had informed the police about the terrorists' escape around 4am on Saturday, while the trio had got away the previous afternoon.
